📜 About & history
Xinzhan Mosque is on the west section of the market street in Xinzhan Town, Huaiyang District, Zhoukou, Henan, 20 km from the county town. Founded in 1574 (2nd year of the Ming Wanli era), it is one of the oldest mosques in the area. It was originally a classic Chinese building complex of 1,500 square metres with a prayer hall, scripture tower, north and south lecture halls and a star-and-crescent tower. Badly damaged in the Cultural Revolution, only the prayer hall and north lecture hall survived. After 1978 local Muslims, with government support, raised more than 200,000 yuan to rebuild it with an Arabic-style triple-domed prayer hall of 260 square metres and a modern gatehouse, recording the work on eight stelae.
